We look forward to coming together for Kabbalat Shabbat services in our beautiful Outdoor Chapel. In July and August, as is the Beth Am tradition, the divrei Torah will be given by Beth Am members or invited guests. A list of speakers is now available:
- July 4 - Ross DeHovitz
- July 11 - David Eagleman, Stanford Neuroscientist (and Beth Am member)
- July 18 - Representative of Beth Am Men Jeff Carmel
- July 25 - Micaela Hellman-Tincher
For any outdoor programming, please be sure to bring your own water bottle, sunscreen and hat, as needed.
After each service this month, gather on the Social Hall Patio for an oneg Shabbat.
The Beth Am community gathers each Friday night at 6:15 PM to welcome Shabbat. Our worship services are musical, participatory and informal in spirit; they focus on helping us experience the spiritual renewal, peace, joy and sense of celebration that Shabbat can bring.
If you attend virtually, please join the livestream starting at 6:15 PM. You may follow along in our texts for the Erev (evening) Shabbat service using the digital version (available for purchase) of the Mishkan T'filah: A Reform Siddur.
To enhance your enjoyment of Shabbat, please visit betham.org/shabbatcorner (including "Social Stories" in the Resource Box to prepare children ahead of time for what to expect during the Shabbat service).
*These services will be livestreamed. By entering the Outdoor Chapel, you give Beth Am permission to record you.
